Which skill do you guys recommend for marksmanship and wilderness survival?

zelgadissan · Oct 13, 2008, 01:11 AM // 01:11

This belongs in the Ranger section of the Campfire.

Anyway, as far as Prophecies elites go I'd look at Barrage and Incendiary Arrows.

MagmaRed · Oct 13, 2008, 01:15 AM // 01:15

For Prophecies only, I'd go with:

Marksmanship [skill]Barrage[/skill]
Wilderness Survival [skill]Incendiary Arrows[/skill]

I quite like barrage in PVE.

Sakura Az · Oct 13, 2008, 02:53 AM // 02:53

punishing shot is also worthy of mention as a decent elite in prophicies.

Crippling Shot <3.

Then again, the OP didn't specified.

Punishing is pretty useless... but from prof elites i suppose its not that bad...

Basically ur options involve barrage and incendiary. Prof doesnt have that many good elites for ranger.

Clarissa F · Oct 13, 2008, 06:43 PM // 18:43

Could always go Poison Arrow/Kindle, but that's a poor sub for IA or BA/Apply. The problem is, your regular skills, like D-shot and Savage Shot, are as good as, or, as in the case of D-shot, better than most of the Prophecies elites.

Melandrus resilience can come in handy in some areas as well and thats capped in the dragons lair mission

Luminarus · Oct 13, 2008, 11:18 PM // 23:18

Melandrus deprives you of a stance, which means no LR or WD. I wouldnt bother with it for regen. If ur in an area with lots of conditions bring antidote signet (im pretty sure thats prof), itll remove up to 4 conditions, or an area with hexes go /mo and help ur monks with remove hex. Resilience is only worth it for some farm builds.

Amy Awien · Oct 14, 2008, 02:41 PM // 14:41

Melandru's Resilience is for energy management (at least) as much as condition handling, and nothing forbids you to bring WD alongside it. Btw, it's funny how people don't know how to handle critters that use MR

Luminarus · Oct 14, 2008, 11:54 PM // 23:54

As a ranger you shouldnt need more energy management... expertise is more then enough, and theres better elites for energy management. Better then relying on ur enemies to cond/hex you for it.

My opinion too. If you get Eye of the North, combine these with Poison Tip Signet to spread the love.

Not sure about IA, but Poison Tip Signet only affects the first arrow that hits in a Barrage/Volley.

Age · Oct 15, 2008, 09:11 PM // 21:11

I go with Punishing Shot and new Incend Arrow.

soligen · Oct 15, 2008, 10:16 PM // 22:16

But is IA still useful even though it has a 5 sec recharge?
Also if i combine it with ignite arrows, does the IA hit only two monsters or the whole group?

Amy Awien · Oct 16, 2008, 06:37 AM // 06:37

IA with Ignite does as expected, every arrow ignites and does it's damage to the hit foe and adjacent foes.
